Rorschach Variables at Three Levels of Empathic Perspective Taking ............. 111 vii INTRODUCTION The construct of empathy has become increasingly important in models of interpersonal relationships, where it is considered by some theorists to be central to both the development of the self and to the ability to interact with others in a meaningful way (Jordan, 1984) . Paralleling this emerging importance have been many attempts to identify indicators of empathy in the Rorschach Ink Blot Test. Object Relations theorists have led the way, with studies of formal scoring variables as well as with investigations of content. Exner's Comprehensive System of Rorschach interpretation (1986), which is widely used in personality assessment, however, has only begun to address this question, in the creation of the Cooperative Movement Score (COP). overall, Exner' s Comprehensive System provides little guidance in the exploration of interpersonal capacity and empathic ability of the subject. It is the goal of this study, working within the Exner scoring system, to identify a set of determinants which, when combined, correlate with an external measure of empathy. In addition, this study will look at the relationships of some content scoring scales to the external measure of empathy. It is conceivable that the formal scoring 1 2 system alone may not be able to assess the construct of empathy. A content based scoring system, or a combination of formal and content scoring, may be more effective. REVIEW OF RELEVANT LITERATURE The Construct of Empathy Most simply stated, empathy "involves a successful two-way relationship in which an experience is shared" (Mayman, 1967, p. 20). The means and nature of that experience have been conceptualized in two ways. One definition focuses on a cognitive reaction which manifests as the ability to see things from another person's perspective. This has been called role- taking, perspective taking, and predictive ability. (Gladstein,1983). The other is more visceral, defining empathy as an emotional reaction to another person which involves a vicarious affective experience (Davis, 1983; Hoffman, 1977). Terms associated with this definition are identification, emotional reaction, emotional contagion and resonation (Gladstein, 1983). Which of the two definitions is chosen in any study is important, as it affects the measures developed and the approach to the project. Marks (1986), in his discussion of methodological considerations in empathy research, points this out. The theoretical orientation of the researcher, he suggests, will inevitably shape both the conceptualization and the operational definition of 3 4 empathy. After reviewing the literature on empathy conceptualization and research, Deutsch and Madle (1975) note that there has been an increase in agreement about some aspects of empathy. " The major areas of disagreement, however, pertain to whether the empathic response is cognitive, affective, or both and what processes explain empathy" (pp. 271-272). current literature purports that empathy is in fact both cognitive and affective. Gladstein (1983) suggests that "perhaps we should be looking at which type of measure to use for which type of empathy" (p. 470). Marks concludes that empathy is a multidimensional construct "which can be viewed from a variety of operational and theoretical perspectives" (p. 18) and states that studies must reflect this complexity. Davis (1980) conceptualizes empathy as an interdependent system of cognitive and affective components, with each influencing the other. He suggests that these components must be assessed together if a study of empathy is to be meaningful. Jordan, in her paper on Empathy and Self Boundaries ( 1984) , also conceptualizes empathy as an integration of intellectual and emotional components, and going further, states that "there must be a balance of affective and cognitive, subjective and objective, active and passive" (p. 3). 5 Jordan also brings other components into her construct. She states that in an empathic experience there is "a momentary overlap between self and other representations as distinctions between self and other blur experientially" (p. 3) . such an interaction as this requires a well differentiated sense of self, flexible boundaries, a desire to interact with others, and the ability

  • Fantasies and Complexes in the Rorschach Test
    Send Orders of Reprints at [email protected] The Open Psychology Journal, 2013, 6, 1-5 1 Open Access Trauma and the Father Image: Fantasies and Complexes in the Rorschach Test Settineri Salvatore1, Lo Presti Eleonora2, Liotta Marco3 and Mento Carmela*,4 1Clinical Psychology, Department of Human and Social Science, University of Messina, Italy 2University of Messina, Italy 3Psychological Sciences, University of Messina, Italy 4Clinical Psychology, Department of Neurosciences, University of Messina, Italy Abstract: In the interpretation of the Rorschach test, the features of the table IV inkblot evoke a dimension of authority, morals and related emotions. Interestingly, the father figure is related to ego development and also guides towards matur- ity via more evolved emotions such as feelings of shame and guilt. In some cases these feelings are found to be lacking in adults experiencing depression. The aim of this work is to analyze the relationship between the representational world in relation to the father figure and depressive mood disorders. The group of subjects is composed of 25 patients who had a psychiatric diagnosis of "Depressive episode". The presence of specific phenomena brings out the complexes, the uneasy and conflictual relationship with the father figure submerged in the unconscious thus emerges. Shock is thereby mani- fested in relation to the black in which the large, dark, and blurred stimulus is perceived as sinister, threatening and dan- gerous. The trauma emerges in the result of a relationship with a father who has not allowed the child to manage similari- ties and differences. From the nature of the answers of the Rorschach protocols, it emerges that the symbolic abilities of subjects are not fully developed or have been attacked by an early trauma.

Organized by specific tests, the paper highlights those aspects of testing which pose particular difficulty to testers with visual impairments and also describes methods by which some tests can be adapted to mediate these challenges. Specific tests include:(1) the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised verbal subtests and performance subtests;(2) the Visual Motor Gestalt Test; (3) the Rorschach Test;(4) the Thematic Apperception Test; and (5) projective drawing tests.

SEVEN The Swami and the Rorschach Spiritual Practice, Religious Experience, and Perception DIANE JONTE-PACE NEARLY A CENTURY after William James initiated the psychological study of mysti­ cism with the publication of The Varieties of Religious Experience, 1 Robert Forman has returned to James's project by issuing a call for a psychologia perennis.2 This "perennial psychology" would investigate mystical or nonordinary states of con­ sciousness and the transformative processes that produce them. Whereas James of­ fered a typology of mystical experience structured around the mysticism of the "healthy minded" and the mysticism of the "sick soul," Forman proposes an inquiry that goes well beyond the work of his predecessor.

Personality tests in recruitment Patrik Remann and Angelika Nordin February 2021 Abstract Before choosing a test for selection in recruitment, it is necessary to observe some characteristics that may influence its results. The test should have a research background that makes it suitable for selection. Otherwise, the test may give an incorrect assessment. This, in turn, can lead to wrong decisions in the selection process, and wrong final candidates are chosen. Therefore, it is relevant that the test you use has high reliability and validity. This article aims to examine just this in psychometric theories and research. We found that the only psychological theory to be used in recruitment and selection is the five-factor model. We have also found out why other theories and tests that are not made for selection are popular, even though they do not have a stable and valid research background. Keywords: Psychometric testing, recruitment and selection. Personality: concepts and theories A good recruitment process involves steps such as searching, interviewing, and evaluating people.
